IBERT-500 LIQ

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and Ferrous Sulfate work synergistically in this tablet formulation. Vitamin C plays a crucial role in enhancing iron absorption. It does so by reducing ferric iron (Fe3+) to the more soluble ferrous iron (Fe2+) in the acidic environment of the stomach, which is more readily absorbed. Additionally, ascorbic acid forms a soluble complex with ferrous iron, known as an iron-ascorbate complex, further facilitating its absorption in the intestine. This mechanism ensures that the body can more efficiently uptake and utilize the ferrous sulfate, which is essential for the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia.
